Photographers

David Bailey (1938 – present)

David Bailey is a British photographer, best known for capturing the spirit of the Swinging 60s. He has a straight-forward and clean style, but at the same time imaginative and thought-provoking, like shown in the image below. In 1960, Bailey landed a contract as a fashion photographer for British Vogue and he also did a lot of freelance work throughout the era, photographing iconic figures of the time like The Beatles, Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger and many more. 

The reason I have chose Bailey is because I really appreciate his photography and how he captures the model. I hope to do the same within my fashion shoot and film by making the model the main focus within the shoot. One thing that impresses me the most about his work is how he captures light and shade. Not only is Bailey's work impressive he has worked with many fashion magazines and has created a name for himself within the industry. As I do not have much experience with fashion photography I will try my best to create a shoot which is of  a high standard ensuring that my target market is in mind. 

Victor Demarchelier

Demarchelier is another successful photography that has worked within the fashion industry for a long period of time. There are several reasons why I have chosen to take inspiration from him. one reason being that his work is simply beautiful in my opinion  the shade in his photography makes the photography appear very realistic. The model stands out along with the surroundings this is something I also hope to achieve within my look book.
